August 4: UW-Madison Marching Band Director Explained the Quirks & Rewards ofLeading the Band Through a Pandemic

You might call the UW-Marching Band one of the more resilient organizations around town. For starters, Dr. CoreyPompey said the band has been on the UW-Madison campus nine years longer than the football team –that equates tothe year 1885 when the marching band was founded. Still, guiding the band through the unchartered waters of apandemic was a Herculean effort. Until recently, the pandemic derailed in-person music for the 300 band students and100 staff members. Until recently they hadn’t played music in-person since March 2020. At the beginning of the

pandemic Pompey said, “The pandemic led to a paradigm shift in thinking to working in small groups online. It was necessary because wehad to keep our skills up.” Even with these changes students eagerly signed up for the online band. They will be back together playing at theUW-Madison football game on September 4 after a long delay. “It’s an exciting time -- especially for half of the band who have never playedtogether at a football game,” Pompey said.

August 11: Marisa Moseley, New Head Coach for UW Women’s Basketball, SharesStrategies for Excellence & Winning

“We’re always trying to get better than the day before.” That might succinctly sum up Marisa Moseley’s ‘marchingorders’ as she takes on the UW Women’s basketball team as head coach for the first time this year. Previously, at BostonUniversity, she led the women’s basketball program to three straight winning seasons, after five seasons of defeat.Winning, she said, is a byproduct of a program with unwavering expectations for excellence. The sign on her office dooron campus says, “Everything starts with an idea.” For UW Women’s basketball, that translates to having the ‘right stuff,’

the right combination of mental focus, a high degree of excellence and drive, and those all-important high standards in place. “Winning buildson that,” says Moseley.

August 18: Conor Moran, Director of the Wisconsin Book Festival, Talks Books,Libraries, and Trends

The Wisconsin Book Festival, an active showcase for authors and their books, has been headed by Conor Moransince 2013. The book festival is a program of the Madison Public Library in partnership with the Madison PublicLibrary Foundation. While the impact of COVID-19 has decimated some industries, Moran told Rotarians the state ofpublishing in the U.S. last year was quite successful. “Publishing is in a strangely good place right now, with thestrongest uptick in sales since 2010,” he said. Moran turned to trends and asked Rotarians, “Which generation usesthe library the most?” After guesses such as seniors, an audience member had the right answer –“Millennials.”Moran pointed out, “Fifty-three percent of millennials are using libraries to check out materials.”

August 25: Chris Meyer: The Impact of COVID-19 Has Resulted in a Surge inVirtual Health

If the words “house call’ make you think of an old fashioned vision of doctors visiting patients at home, youhaven’t heard Chris Meyer talk about how technology has changed that scenario. In his August 25th Rotarypresentation, “The Return of House Calls,” Meyer, the Director of Virtual Care at Marshfield Clinic Health System,said there’s been an incredible surge in telehealth since the pandemic began. “For those with chronic illnesses, andthose who can’t easily make in-person visits, virtual health can make all the difference,” he noted. He pointed outtelehealth can also have emotional health benefits for patients. In one situation, he mentioned telehealth helped a

family cope and survive after their child passed away after being hospitalized in Marshfield Children’s Hospital for 127 days. “Telehealthhelped the family heal when driving to a clinic and waiting with others in a waiting room would have been emotionally challenging,” he said.He said they’ve heard from rural patients including farmers who have appreciated being able communicate with their doctor in theconvenience of their homes. “We’ve heard hundreds of stories like that,” Meyer said. Going forward, he explained there’s no question thattelehealth has helped patients become more connected to their doctors. “Now the challenge is to provide that same type of connectivity viathe phone for those who don’t have broadband. “Phone care has to be an option,” he said.

Brian Basken, Jason Beren, Neil Fauerbach, Jorge Hidalgo, Andrea Kaminski andMark Moody Recognized For Their Outstanding EffortsIntroduced by Joyce Bromley – August 25, 2021

Each Wednesday as we all come together for lunch to Connect, Grow and Serve, many of us don’t think about the details andlogistics it takes to make it all happen. This past year and a half has had some unprecedented challenges because of the pandemic.We have six members who played key roles in keeping us together. When we had to stop meeting in person last March, within twoweeks, we were holding online meetings. This was quite a coordinated effort to make that transition. After several months, when newguidelines allowed, we eventually transitioned to having then president Jorge Hidalgo appear live at Pearson Engineering as well asmany of our speakers.

The changes caused by the pandemic also required club leaders to review our dues and meals structure, to create three task forcesto develop recommendations for membership recruitment and retention as well as to develop recommendations for a new governancestructure.

During a time of crisis, our club took a deep look at many critical issues and worked out a plan to make our club stronger for thefuture. We owe a great deal of gratitude to our board of directors and others involved.

Renee Moe and the Member Recognition committee that she chaired identified 6 club members who played key roles in makingthese changes. The Board approved them for the Rotary Club of Madison Service Awards to recognize them for leading us throughthese challenging times.

The following three members received Community Service Awards:Andrea Kaminski who was president in 2019-2020 and began the effort of making our transition to online meetings. She recorded

herself at home on her cell phone, --first at one home from which she was moving and then to her new home. Her videos were piecedtogether with other announcements and our speaker’s video to create our online meeting each week.

Jorge Hidalgo who was president last year and built on the efforts started by Andrea. Jorge dedicated a great deal of time preparingand recording his videos and eventually transitioned to our livestreamed meetings, making them as interactive as possible. He also ledthe club board through major changes with the new dues structure and working with the task forces as they brought forward theirrecommendations for approval. Let us not forget that Jorge met the push-up challenge.

Brian Basken. Brian’s conference room at Pearson Engineering became our Rotary livestreaming studio. He helped us determinewhat equipment was necessary and provided hundreds of hours of A/V support in editing the videos and helping with the livestreaming.Even before the pandemic, he has helped record our meetings and continues in that role now that we are back at the Park Hotel inperson.

The following 3 members received Club Service Awards:Past president Jason Beren who also provided hundreds of hours in setting up the equipment for our livestreamed meetings and

helping run that equipment. As a past president, Jason offered good insights into helping with the transition to virtual meetings and theformatting. He, too, continues to help record meetings now that we are back in person so members unable to attend can view them onour YouTube Channel.

Neil Fauerbach took individual videos sent in by our musicians and edited them to create those terrific finished music videos we sawon our online meetings. The editing takes a lot of time and effort, and we appreciate all Neil did behind the scenes to make it happen.Neil also served as chair of our Program Committee for the past two years, and we are grateful for his leadership in selecting timelyspeakers even while we were meeting virtually.

Mark Moody invested many hours in working on the dues restructuring and our new governance plan which reduced committeesfrom 40 to 25 and places committees within five teams. This new structure creates a more cohesiveness among like committees, andthe team approach will keep us all moving in the same direction with more efficiency and better communication. We appreciate Mark’sdedication to moving our club forward.

These six members whom we recognize today are shining examples of Rotarians who have dedicated themselves to serving Rotaryand our community. They have gone above and beyond to keep our club strong. Let’s thank them for their Service Above Self efforts.Thank you!

When you join our Rotary Club of Madison, there is an expectation that you’ll support our club’s Four Priorities of Givingas follows:

1. Community Grants Campaign: The first priority is our Community Grants Campaign which is held each fall,and the average gift is about $342. This supports our annual grants distributed primarily to our community. Thatis the campaign I will chair, so you’ll be hearing more from me in the fall about it.

2. Rotary International Foundation: The second priority of giving is the Rotary International Foundation. Wehold this campaign each May, and the money we raise is sent to The Rotary International Foundation. Thisfoundation provides funding for international grants around the world, and our club has received matching dollarsfor global grants such as our project in Ghana to keep girls in school, and we are now working on a project inChile that is receiving matching funds from Rotary International.

3. Birthday Gift: Third on the listing of priorities is the Birthday Gift. When you celebrate your birthday, we askyou to celebrate with a gift to our Madison Rotary Foundation. The funds we receive on your birthday aredeposited into our Community Grants Endowment Fund, and 100% of the contributions go towards ourCommunity Grants Program. The giving to this fund is continuing to decline since it started in 1998, and we arenow at about 55% of members giving.

4. Synergy Fund: The 4th priority of giving is our Synergy Fund. When you round up your birthday contribution,that amount goes to our Synergy Fund and is a way that all members can donate to our four-year collegescholarship program for students in need in our community. Contributions to this fund, too, have beendeclining.

Please make a gift to these funds: What we can do collectively to better our community starts with the donations to ourMadison Rotary Foundation. When you receive the notices to give to these funds, we hope you’ll be generous. People inneed in our community are counting on us. Thank you.


Steve Goldberg, chair of this year’s Swarsensky Award Committee, has announced that we are now acceptingnominations for our prestigious annual Manfred E. Swarsensky Humanitarian Service Award.

Rabbi Swarsensky was a beloved member of Downtown Rotary for 22 years, served as rabbi of Madison’s Temple BethEl and on the faculty of Edgewood College. Born in Prussia in 1906, Manfred Swarsensky was a young rabbi known for hisbrilliant sermons at one of Berlin’s leading synagogues when the Nazis burned it down, as they did most Jewish institutionsand businesses, and imprisoned him in a concentration camp in 1938. After most of his family perished in the Holocaust, hesettled in Madison to lead the then new Temple Beth El. Rather than retreat into bitterness, he dedicated the rest of his lifeto peacemaking, forgiveness and building bridges. “The power of love is stronger and more enduring than the forces ofhate,” said Rabbi Swarsensky. Rabbi Swarsensky’s life is a testimony to what one person can do to better the lives ofothers. He was known statewide for his commitments to social justice, civil rights, religious tolerance, inter-faith dialogueand furthering forgiveness and reconciliation.

Rabbi Swarsensky died in 1981 at the age of 75. Inspired by his remarkable life, the club established the award in 1982to honor his memory. Its purpose is to identify and honor individuals who have, through their voluntary efforts, made aparticularly outstanding contribution to humanitarian service in the greater Madison community and beyond, in the traditionso well exemplified by Rabbi Swarsensky. The award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a broad communityinterest as advanced by the rabbi, whether through a single community agency or service, or many. The club seeksnominees who, like Rabbi Swarsensky, have helped build bridges and sought reconciliation between groups andindividuals.

The award will be presented at one of our Wednesday luncheon meetings this November and will include a $2,500 grantto a charitable organization in the greater Madison area selected by the awardee.

The deadline to submit nominations to the Rotary office is October 1. Here is a link to the nomination form which isavailable in the downloadable forms section of our website: https://rotarymadison.org/wp-content/forms/Swarsensky%20Nomination%20FILL%20IN%20Form%202021.docx

Watch the 9-minute video for background on Rabbi Swarsensky: To learn more about Rabbi Swarsensky and toprepare the strongest submission possible, nominators are encouraged to watch this award-winning 9-minute video abouthis life and work which may be found online on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51xmORreEUs.

President Teresa Holmes continues to give Rotary some extra visibility while she sharesinformation about our club within our community. Last month, she met some people on the street bythe Park Hotel and talked with them about Rotary. This month, she talked with individuals at aConcerts on the Square Event.

Rotary Senior Service Guest – Peggy AhlgrenIntroduced by Carol Koby – August 18, 2021

Volunteering behind the scenes and spotlight—that’s Peggy Ahlgren. Humble. Quiet.Meticulous. Organized. Peggy has always volunteered but she took it to a whole newlevel when she retired ten years ago. She owned Wilson Creek Pottery in Spring Greenfor 35 years. For the last 10 years, she has volunteered two days a week at theAlzheimer’s and Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin where she helps with office work,writes thank you notes to donors, assists in organizing special events and conferences.Jeff Hamms, executive director of the Alliance, said they are so lucky to have her willinghands, sharp mind and deep wisdom.

Peggy pays attention to the details in all her volunteer efforts which also include theMadison Public School Foundation, with emphasis on West High School, her almamater. According to Rotary member Melinda Heinritz, who heads the foundation, Peggyplays a major role in bringing cohesion to Madison West High School alumni efforts,including the creation of a “board of visitors” to provide ongoing financial and volunteerresources to staff and students.

Peggy’s volunteerism started when she was 7 years old—when she stuffed envelopes for an Easter Seals drive.For the past eight years, to honor the memory of a knitting friend, Peggy has been knitting mittens for children through Retired and

Senior Volunteer Partnership where she also helps with office work. Last year Peggy donated more than 100 pairs of mittens and 36scarves. Her volunteerism also includes Pope Farm Conservancy, Pheasant BranchNature Conservancy and the Wisconsin State Historical Society.

Congratulations to Peggy on receiving this much deserved Rotary Club Senior Service Award.

Our club’s Classification Committee meets monthly and is responsible for reviewing all membership proposal forms thatcome in. They recommend a classification as well as confirming that the individuals meet our membership criteria. Thecommittee submits its recommendations to the board for final approval, and the listing of individuals is then provided to themembership. An example of that listing was included in the Friday, August 6, email to members.

As part of our club’s task force recommendations approved last year, there was a recommendation that we occasionallyremind members about the process on how to propose a member as well to review our membership criteria, and AndreaKaminski, chair of our Classification Committee, presented a report during our August 11 meeting about this topic.

Our Club’s success results from maintaining a membership of business and civic leaders, and this helps our Club toattract still more business and civic leaders and permits us to secure the breadth and quality of programs that we desire.The many connections that arise from the acquaintance that our Club fosters among leaders from different sectors helps ourClub make things happen in our community. We strive to identify, invite, and include all who meet our criteria, and we seeka membership that well represents the demographics of our community.

When you join Rotary, you are "loaned" a classification. Our club can have up to 10 percent in each of our broadclassifications. You can find the full classification listing in the back of our membership roster if you want to review it.

As for nominating someone for membership, here are some quick and easy steps to propose a new member: First, identify someone you know from work or your social circle who is an owner, partner, key executive, or leader

of our community’s businesses and institutions or distinguished college or university faculty. Ask yourself whetherthis person is community service minded.

We are sorry to report the death of long-time Rotary member Boris Frank. Boris passed awayon August 6th at the age of 89 following a battle with pancreatic cancer. Boris provided hisexpertise and guidance to over 500 nonprofits, and he was also very involved in communityservice. He will be remembered as a mentor, a connector and a friend. Boris first joined Rotaryin the West Indies in 1960, was a member of Madison West Rotary for 2 years, and he joined ourRotary club in 1976.

Rotary meant so much to Boris during his 45 years in our club. He was deeply committed toour club, having served on many committees, was on our board for two terms and wasrecognized with our club’s Senior Service Award in 2001. He most recently served on ourmembership retention task force last fall, helping to create a solid plan for our club as we moveforward. Boris was also a Paul Harris Fellow.

Our club has made a $100 contribution in Boris’s name to our Madison Rotary Foundation toestablish a memorial fund in his name. Anyone wishing to make a gift to this fund may send their contribution to theMadison Rotary Foundation, 2 South Carroll Street, Suite 255, Madison, WI 53703.
